Happiness

In the organizer's words:

In 2021, when the world was in lockdown, the Iranian web series "Happiness" presented itself in the digital watchroom of the SERIENCAMP FESTIVAL as a kind of showcase into a world that is often hidden from us and partially sealed off from the West. Before leaving Iran with her mother, young Shadi was traveling through a country that she has long since left behind for the second season in search of her father. Six months have passed since her arrival in France - and of course the young woman is still struggling to find her way between adaptation and loneliness. It is only when she meets Arezou, a Franco-Iranian, that Shadi begins to thaw. Instead of looking for her father, she now searches for stability and freedom in a still foreign world - and slowly transforms into a politically active person through her experience of exile, her new friendship and also love.
